A New Hampshire girl whose body was found in the Connecticut River was remembered as part of a national observance honoring the lives of children who have died.

Celina Cass was among a group of children named during a Sunday night candlelight vigil at a Groveton funeral home. She was among those remembered as part of National Children's Memorial Day. Congress designated the second Sunday of December for the tribute in 1996.

Eleven-year-old Celina disappeared in July from her West Stewartstown home. Her body was later found in the river. Her death has been classified as a homicide; no arrests have been made.

WMUR-TV reports Celina's gravesite shows a new etching of the child on her headstone.
